Tessa Virtue's Sassiest Tweets Make Us Love Her Even More

We didn't think it was possible.

Lucy Nicholson / ReutersCanadian ice dance star Tessa Virtue has sass on and off the ice.

On the ice, Tessa Virtue's every move — each turn, lift, twizzle and dramatic eyebrow arch — is deliberate, choreographed, and calculated to draw us in to her passionate, bold, and sometimes playful performance.

Off the ice, well, same, really.

Her Twitter game is 100 per cent (you guys, she's tweeted at Colbie Smulders, Patrick J. Adams, and Justin Trudeau), and even though we honestly didn't think it was possible to love Virtue any more than we already do, here we are.

But then she went ahead and also showed some serious sass on Twitter, and we died. And we're not alone: Virtue was the second-most mentioned Canadian athlete on Twitter during the Olympic Games (second only behind Moir), according to data from Twitter Canada, and she gained 2.5 times more Twitter followers than she had before the Games began.

I simply cannot express how special it has been to receive your messages of encouragement and support. They've been read and re-read countless times, and have added great meaning to our Olympic moments. Thank you. A million times thank you ❤️💃🏻
